Bring Spice Back into the Bedroom

Raffaella Taylor

. Try the Kama Sutra!!!

Many people are desperate to bring some spice to the bedroom but dona��t know where to start. I hear of countless couples, especially those in long-term relationships, who find themselves doing the same old positions as their flame and passion for one another diminishes.

Part of the problem is that many of us are creatures of habit and this extends to the bedroom. While the early days are full of adventure and experimentation, ita��s easy to get stuck in a rut as time goes on.

This is a sure fire way to turn sex into a chore, no more to look forward to than washing clothes or cleaning the house.

Sex should be a time that you connect with your other half and enjoy the kind of fun together that only you can. Most importantly what happens in the bedroom needs to keep both partners interested, and for that to happen we need to move beyond missionary.

This week I am turning to the Kama Sutra for inspiration, the famous sex bible of ancient India. Many moves in the Kama Sutra are bizarre, awkward or require acrobatic skills that most of us lack. But there are positions in there that you can master without being an Olympic athlete and that will bring fresh excitement to tired bedrooms.

The first position I suggest you try is the Sammukha. To try this move, the woman should lean back against a wall while standing and spread her legs as wide as she can while the man enters her. Taller men may need to kneel.

Although this move might seem a little embarrassing at first, it adds passion and romance through eye contact, as well as offering some of the deepest penetration possible. Worth a try, right?

If youa��re after more of a quickie, try out the Tripadam position, known for fast fun. Both partners stand facing one another and the man puts his hand under one of the womana��s knees, raising it off the floor and enters her while standing, turning the couple into a tripod. Sex experts say that this standing position is mutually pleasurable as it brings extra blood to our intimate regions.

My final suggestion is the Piditaka, which I recommend if youa��re looking for something more relaxing and laid back.

The woman lies on her back and pulls her knees to her chest, then rests her feet on the mana��s chest as he kneels in front of her. With the mana��s knees on the side of her hips, he raises her hips onto his thighs and enters her. Pressing her legs together or crossing her ankles will make her feel tighter, increasing pleasure for both partners.

I hope the Kama Sutra provides some inspiration and gets you in the mood to try something new. Sex between a couple should be mutually pleasurable and something to look forward to rather than a tired habit.
